JINGUMAE (OMOTESANO/HARAJUKU): Mizuho for some tasty Mame-Daifuku mochi balls!

If in Japan don't just nibble on Pocky Sticks and yummy snacks at the convenient store but for 100% sure give this Mame-Daifuku mochi ball a try... all Japanese love it.

My friends Japanese wife always name dropped Mizuho and since it was her birthday I decided to make the journey into the side streets posh Omotesando.



I ordered a box of 8 and the lady picked out 8 freshly made pieces from the back and packed it very nicely in a box.




The grey box is filled with 8 mochi balls... plus 1 for myself to try.




The Daifuku here just seemed more refined than those in the supermarket.  If you are ever in the Omtoesando or Harajuku area just give one a try... the sweet bean paste in the middle is just sweet enough.  More info on Mame (bean) Daifuku's here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daifuku
